Supporting Health In Africa

Africa remains the poorest continent on Earth and is suffering from huge health problems. The challenge seems overwhelming.

Homeopaths working in Africa find their patients really benefit from their treatment. Homeopaths can be trained for less than a fifth of the cost of training doctors, and homeopathic remedies cost pence rather than pounds.

SHEAF is a charity formed to directly support those training and working in the field of Homeopathy and health care in Africa.

The situation

• On average, 60% of the population in Africa live on less than $1 per day
• People die of simple problems which would readily respond to simple nursing and treatment with homeopathy
• Healthcare infrastructure in many countries is inadequate

It is often many days walk or an expensive bus journey to the nearest government hospital.

The Sheaf Trust aims are:

Training of African Homeopaths

Professional training in naturopathy/homeopathy

Supporting the development of clinics in rural areas

Healthcare in Africa using complementary and traditional remedies

Improving self-help for the poor in Africa

Training local people in the use of homeopathy, for emergencies and acute situations

Improving self-help for the poor in Africa

The education of local people in basic nursing skills, nutrition and home-based care

In Ghana we are donating funds to help develop a clinic in Kumasi.
